189: BOAT Briefing: Stars of the Antigua Charter Show, sportfishers by numbers and a spotlight on the BDA finalists

BOAT Briefing: Stars of the Antigua Charter Show, sportfishers by numbers and a spotlight on the BDA finalists 

In this week's BOAT Briefing, Caroline and Katia talk about their shared disappointment about missing out on this year's Antigua Charter Show and highlight a few of the yachts that would be high on their must-see list. They also take a deep dive into the data surrounding sportfishers and note an impressive 40% uptick in the number of sportfishers in build or on order between the 1990s and 2000s. Elsewhere, the announcement of BOAT's Design & Innovation Awards finalists prompts some favourites - Caroline is a fan of Pershings's sporty GTX116, while Katia likes the 'Barbie dreamhouse' style of Amels' 60m Entourage. In the news, there's a major refit of an Italian icon, the outfitting of Amels' first 80-metre model and a yacht auction that gets Katia's attention.
